Hi,

I am trying to get Net::SSH2 to install on Fedora Core 4 Linux.

I have installed OpenSSL and libssh2 which are pre-requisites for Net::SSH2.

I then attempt to make Net::SSH2 using the standard method:

1. perl Makefile.PL
2. make
3. make test

The perl Makefile.PL step and the make step work correctly. However, make test yields the following error:

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_h
+arness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/Net-SSH2....
#   Failed test 'use Net::SSH2;'
#   in t/Net-SSH2.t at line 19.
#     Tried to use 'Net::SSH2'.
#     Error:  Can't load '/home/pjirak/Downloads/Net-SSH2/Net-SSH2-0.0

I can do a force install Net::SSH2, however, after that I still get the same error when I try to run my Perl program that uses Net::SSH2.

I have looked on google and some other sources as well. I have found that others have had this problem on Fedora Core 4 Linux, however, I have not yet found a solution. A searched on perl monks. I have found nodes about Net::SSH2, but none about this problem. I've gone through some of the install notes, but haven't figured out if there is an install flag I need to use when making Net::SSH2 so that it can/will find the libssh2 when it is run.

Does any one know what I need to do to get Net::SSH2 to install on Fedora Core 4?

Has any one else had this problem?

Does any one have any ideas regarding compile flags that I need (but am missing) when I make Net::SSH2 to cause Net::SSH2 to find libssh2 when it runs?

Any help any one can provide would be useful.

Thanks
